Introducing the BKB Xenith

I get it, im just salty about my voyager :rofl::sweat_smile::rofl: the real question with the new goodies is how many rails is too many? Batteries on top, batteries on bottom, batteries on batteries?

I wanna see under the hood and know if it’s the 100D v1, ii, or dx.

Either way, it’s underpowered and overpriced, considering you can buy SKP solos, lil foccers, or maker x d100s.

Nice to see an easy drop in replacement available for folks with lacroix boards though.

I mean, 560 cad seems a tad expensive, and thats on sale, hopefully foreversale, cause 700 cad is obscene. can we get a xenithcore 12s for all us normal and poor people who dont need 18s? :rofl::sweat_smile::rofl:

I hear people have issues setting up makers, and im an idiot. Hoping i dont burn anything down with a spintend on my current build.
my stormcore has been peachy since i started using it, i have no need for 18s, and at that price, i might as well buy a makers d100 no? from the sounds of it bkb might not be the best inheritor anyways :sweat_smile:

If you follow this you shouldn’t have many issues setting it up

I mean it’s sort of rude for me to even mention makerx in here but everyone knows it in the back of their head

But if you don’t need 21s capability, you could consider the dv6s, that’s what radium is using for the mach one

FWIW I have not experienced the problem with UART ports being full

Ahahaha shameless self plug :rofl: i dig it. U got a spintend guide? :thinking: i have watched a few batt vids but too much stress for me still​:+1:

Yeah, i guess i do feel bad talking about every other esc, and i do like the stormcore i have, but the price vs capability on the bkb kinda kills it for me personally, if they released something easy to deal with that was cheaper for 12s, i mean it existed :man_shrugging:

Also if we could actually get it branded ā€œxenithcoreā€ i would probably debate paying slightly more :rofl::sweat_smile::rofl:

Lmao I just shared because I tried my best to go through the process, easier than typing it all out - but if you have any feedback let me know.

Yeah moving to lingyi kind of abandoned those potential customers

So is this the more or less reliable Stormcore? I wasn’t paying attention when there were D, D+ and DX discussions going on and I’m not sure I see a clear winner/loser of the three.

I can tell you this isnt a D+, so its probably shit

@ShutterShock interviewed them at esk8con. I believe it’s left over Lacroix stock that’s been rebranded

Yeah, Jared told me the same and that there weren’t any plans to continue selling them after they sold out.

the fet placement doesn’t look like a 100d, so I’m assuming it’s a 100dx. if that is the case, I wouldn’t touch one

BKB just knocked another $100 off the price, so I guess others feel the same way.
